Takkatakka and Elyxus: Please make the harem reveal be a lot more believable compared to OIAL
Caribdis:
(Realtalk tho I can see him making the reveal a bit more heartfelt/fleshed-out compared to OIAL but anyone thinking that it'll reach full-on drama/wetworks territory will probably be disappointed)

About how Thanatos could enter to Ogygia server I think that the answer is: Idriel.
She wants to free the NPCs, the cursed souls trapped in Eternum, just like Thanatos. She talks with you just before going to Ogygia, and knowing that you are looking for Calypso she contacts with Thanatos and teleport in here, and if Thanatos can't go to the real world he needs her to travel between realms (remember, except for invitation, Idriel is the core between servers, and the problem with Ogygia was the lack of portal rings, something irrelevant to Thanatos).
If the praetorians are working with the Founder, Thanatos is working with Idriel. Obviously Thanatos doesn't want the same as Idriel, that's why she is interested in you, but their interest are aligned for now and to Idriel, better to use an NPC that she can control where is all the time that a Player, that lives and moves in a world alien to her.

I think the last third of the game should basically consist of the girls hating each other and the MC and only coming slowly around at the end to begrudgingly live together - The End.

Considering all of the bonding build-up going on throughout the story so far I highly doubt that's going to be the case in the end.I think the last third of the game should basically consist of the girls hating each other and the MC and only coming slowly around at the end to begrudgingly live together - The End.
Worst case is it ends in the way I'm theorizing the harem end would be (the "tails" scenario), but it'll still be pretty wholesome for the most part (albeit bittersweet in a way).

Yeah, it's really weird how the appearance of a Silent Hill monster makes you think of Silent Hill. I wonder why that is...
How did Annie suddenly become so awesome? I'd always thought she was the least interesting of the girls, but after the latest update I've had to change my mind.

Wont Caribdis get into copyright problems
I know, right? Everyone knows the rules of making VNs: limited cast, limited setting, limited branching, pick all three or you will kill yourself with complexity. And then Caribdis comes along and goes, "which one is the most dangerous for a single dev? Limited setting? No problem, I'll make three completely new environments for this episode that you'll never visit again, what could go wrong?" And he does this episode after episode and still nothing goes wrong.
He knows how to pick his battles and doesn't do extensive branching or blow up the cast, with just a handful of characters that are neither throwaways nor the main eight, but I am still amazed by how well he tackles making loads and loads of new environments.

I think Caly is the exception to the others. As we were warned, she wasn't deemed complete, hence the server lockdown. She was "trapped" in a box that looks exactly like we see with that guy and the "NPC" kid in the current update. I'm thinking the WoA were actually created from "players"/"NPCs". Her reprogramming wasn't finished and so she still retained herself and more of what her magic could do. Either that or she's actually just something from the MC's imagination. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if her home was actually from the game he designed in the past.
The only problem I see with Hyas being able to cut a path between servers is that he keeps asking others to "open the portal". Unless its like you say and it only works with close servers.

Could be that it has a long-ass cooldown? I mean, he probably doesn't want to wait that long if there's already a portal-opener in the vicinity. Man has places to go, gem holders to kill, so waiting on a dead server until his own portal-hopper device has charged up is probably not something he's keen on doing.
wtf are you talking about. A crush indicates romantic feelings, not just physical attraction. Of course penny can tell he's physically attracted to her, that's why she keeps teasing him.

Well I do hope this won't get copyright problems, especially for Luna otherwise during the next fights, this will happen :

I still think she's the least interesting of the girls. She's just your shy childhood friend and a relatively good Eternum player. Everyone else has something else going for them:
- Calypso is a Weapon of Atlas
- Nova is a world-class hacker and a world-class Eternum player
- Alex is the CEO's daughter
- Nancy is a master strategist and a hot mommy figure
- Dalia and Penny are hot sisters
- Luna has a weird power and is one of the best summoners in Eternum
- Annie is... Annie
Calypso, Alex and Nova are load-bearing characters essential for the plot. The Carters and Luna could be replaced with different characters in theory: like, you could have a bookworm sister and a punk sister instead of an athlete sister and an influencer sister, shuffle the roles around etc. Annie could be removed from the game with almost no scar tissue remaining.
